HOWTO log on to your Vera using SSH.
Contents |
Prerequisites
- Vera 1-3 hardware
- For Windows based clients, an open-source SSH application to access your Vera, for instance PuTTY which can be found here: [1]
- For MAC clients you could use "Rbrowser" to be found here [2] or here [3]
- Linux based clients have built-in SSH support.
- Root password, to be found at the bottom of your Vera (also your initial WiFi security key)
Introduction
For many operations you need acces to the shell of your Vera. For this reason Vera supports SSH (Secure SHell) on port 22.
Getting acces to your Vera is not something that is easy at first.
Therefore you can follow these instructions in support of other How To's to get root acces to your Vera's shell.
Instructions
Windows
- After you have downloaded PuTTY, run it directly.
To get shell acces to your Vera do this;
1. Under <Host Name> type the IP address of your Vera (for example: 192.168.1.24), leave Port number 22 alone, if needed, change connection type to SSH (default) and click <Open>.
2. At Login type:
root
hit <Enter>
The password you need is located on the label under your Vera unit assigned to "WiFI Pass".
3. Type the password and hit <Enter>
Mac & Linux
1. Open a "Terminal".
2. type:
ssh root@192.168.1.24
You now should have access to your Vera's Root directory and it should display something like this:
BusyBox v1.15.3 (2010-06-10 18:19:49 PDT) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. --------------------------------------------------- *** MiOS LTD. ( www.mios.com ) *** *** *** *** WARNING : *** *** Any changes made to the system without *** *** guidance from MiOS support will VOID *** *** your future Support requests *** --------------------------------------------------- root@MiOS_xxxxx:~#
(the xxxxx will be your Vera's name)
From here you can use any shell command provided in other How To's or forum items.
